Well, I found out what the problem was with my sound card.  Apparently Dell
deviates from the standard OEM spec for Sound Blaster Live! 5.1.  The EMU10K1
drivers just don't work on it (yet).  The problem has been around since the
Spring, and no one from Dell seems to care (though it's acknowledged on their
support page).  There are commercial EMU10K1X drivers available from a third
party, but they cost $35 and the demo only works for 3 hours.  Mandrake detects
the card as EMU10K1X, so I was hoping they had drivers for it, but apparently
it's just detection.  They don't have the drivers or any equivalent.  If there
is an open source equivalent someone can point me to, I'd be really happy. 
Otherwise, I'm just going to try to swap the card with my old SB Live card and
that should hopefully work.  Thanks everybody for all the help.  I guess the
moral is that I should have listened to my conscience and not bought from a
major OEM.

in 9.2 beta 2 the sound blaster live driver does not take properly. 
i have opened mandrake control center and went to the sound card 
and enter emu on several occasions and it does not accept the change. 
audigy is still present. i have had to enter it and reboot and enter 
it again and reboot over and over and then finally it works.
